THE PEACE OF EUROPE In view of certain suggestions recently made I should like to stress that the people should not allow themselves to consider the settlements of one kind or another calculated to prejudice Germany's Sovereignty in future. Such settle- ments would be contrary to the Versailles treaty and have most disadvantageous consequences for the future development of Inter- national relations,"

In conclusion, von Neurath aa- sured his hearers that" the National-Socialist Government of Germany combines the determina- tion to protect the vital interests of the German people with the equally arm determination to be a stable factor in the peace of Europe.--- Transocean Kuo Min.
